Dear OSI gurus,

According to X.215, section 12.1.2.7,

  "... additional SS-user session requirements which were not included in the 
  indication, may be included in the response.  SS-user session requirements 
  that are proposed in both the indication and the response are the ones 
  selected for use on the session connection."

This section has been bugging me for years.  Can anyone tell me the advantage 
of allowing the responding SS-user to propose additional SS-user session 
requirements that it knows already that these will not be selected for use 
anyway?

Thanks in advance for any enlightening thoughts.  Puzzled,

Isaac Chan, Consumers Software Inc. <Isaac@gui.consumers.com>
